Magic Man heres the thing. There is so much cheating on PVP games for the PC that if you get both then its not a true loss (there is some cheating on consoles but not nearly as much or as in depth of cheating) when you’re getting thrashed on the PC version you can go to the Xbox version.

First of all, I totally agree with Jason. Final Fantasy deserves to be turn-based… they really need to stop trying to re-invent the wheel. I didn’t even finish 13 because of the combat system, and that’s saying something since I adore Snow. I like action combat too, but it does not belong in my Final Fantasy.
My favorite preview from E3 has to be bar none the Call of the Cthulu remake, a lot of the games looked awesome but this took me by surprise. I own the original and always thought it was a delightfully creepy game. I will definitely be getting the remake and I can’t wait!

QotW: God of War was freaking awesome to watch. The gameplay reminded me of The Last of Us, which is amazing and huge for the franchise. They did a complete 180 with God of War. This is a what reboot should look like. Jason I don’t think you have to worry about the action combat with FFXV, because from an interview I saw they said that they will have Wait Mode I think its called, where you can play the more traditional way. which is what I prefer in Final Fantasy games. Im going to have to give a HUGE A-bomb to LawBreakers. That gameplay demo was awful, while the game looks cool and so does the characters, it just didn’t do it for me. that whole gravity thing is just a lame attempt at giving everyone jetpacks. it just didn’t do it for me. And after seeing gameplay of it, if it did go free to play I still wouldn’t download it.
